Starts up fine every time. Always idles fine. But when I put it in gear or increase the RPMs the engine will die. I've replaced both fuel pumps, the fuel filter, pump strainer (for the in tank pump), and the pump relay switch. If I let the car sit a while it will work for a while (sometimes it will only go 25 feet, other times it has gone up to 150 miles) but suddenly it will start happening again.
Its
a hot start issue.
Can
be related to low fuel pressure or problem with crank sensor.
Also
it can be weak battery or starter.
But
possibilities are to be inspected to confirm what exactly it is.------

Engine stalls or RPM
fluctuates at idle up and down or dies near idle.
This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve but always run a OBD2 fault code as well as the cleaning procedure. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control

Exhaust seems fine. I've been talking to some friends... would a messed up air filter or censor do it?
The exhaust is all clear. A friend told me it might be the air filter or air mass censor. Would that do it?
